There are a lot of signs that this is a scam. I'll concentrate on those that you can easily check yourself:

  1. You can't win a lottery you haven't entered.
  2. Winners of a legit lottery are notified by letter, not by e-mail.
  3. Phone numbers starting with +4470... are so-called 'follow-me numbers'. It's not a real phone line but a redirect to another phone number anywhere in the world. These numbers are very popular with scammers who claim to be in the UK but in reality are somewhere else.
  4. rediffmail.com is a free webmail provider. No legit company the size of Nokia would use these. Real Nokia representatives have e-mail addresses ending in @nokia.com.
  5. Try googling for "Nokia Lottery" - all you get is talk about scams.
    And finally,
  6. You can't win a lottery you haven't entered. (It's okay to mention this twice.)

There are other signs that it's a scam - bogus postal address, grammar - , but the above points are very easy to check for yourself and catch 99.9% of all lottery scams.
